Drillbit's Trophy Room Build

I will have both track lighting and can lights. All of them are on separate dimmers so I should have pretty good control of overall lighting. The only decision left is paint color. I'm leaning toward a tan color with some sort of faux effect to it to break it up a bit.
You’re way ahead of me! You have really thought this through well!
Can’t wait to see it finished and filled !
 
They worked hard right up to Christmas eve

Good job on the recessed lighting! Really makes a dramatic difference. So have you started working up plans for the enclosed walkway between the main house and this one? ;) It would be practical and make a lovely gallery moving between spaces.
 
Just re-arranged and here is a paint color idea.
 
Gemsbok - I haven't seen that color before. Looks good!

Ridge Top - Wow. Amazing. Great room with great animals! I like how the ceilings and floors match.

Cavern Clay Sherwin Williams. There are deer and bear opposite and it seems to work well!!!
 
Ridge-do you know the color used in your fantastic room?
 
This is awesome. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
 
Thanks. Love your room and great trophies as well!
 
Wow just now seeing this and holly smokes how awesome. I have trophy room envy!
 
Exterior is finishing up. Roof tiles going on. Interior is getting the focus. Cabinetry and trim are complete. So next up has been staining the beams and baseboards, etc.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
